Using FDM with Audit all file name etc and DBUPDATE=N.

IF you set AUDITVALUES=N, You don't get before or after masking values, I was expecting masked values only with this setting.

I was expecting that adding AUDITVALUES=N would produce what is produced in post mask data even when not updating the database.

 I would like the ability to output only the new values when running the tests.

 

Environment

Release : 4.9

Component : CA Test Data Manager - Fast Data Masker

Cause

N/A

Resolution

N means do not show the value for old AND new.

The way this works you either get NO values IE N or you get BOTH values.

I do not believe there is a way to get ONE or the other.

This would probably be a new feature request.
